- Summary:
-
"This book is a short history of the development of conservation farming on the North West Slopes and Plains of New South Wales from the early 1960's to the early 2020's. It covers the stages of advancement of this farming technology over that period, and the stories of some of the leading innovators ... Travelling through the North West region one rarely now sees bare fields of tilled soil. These have been replaced by fields covered with crop and pasture residues, protecting both soil and water.The adoption of many and varied rotational strategies including summer and winter cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, pastures and forages are now the new normal.These pages are a salute to all those who have been part of the evolution of that revolution." -- Page 0.
